Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I found this article the other day about the possibility of choosing your baby’s gender. They give tips on how to achieve this and quite frankly I am not sure how I feel about this. I don’t like it because I think you should just be grateful that you are able to have a child as millions of women are unable and spend a bazillion dollars a year trying. I can get pregnant laying next to my husband and for that I am very thankful and I realize I am lucky so I have always been open to whatever baby wants to come into this world. However, I understand that for some people having a certain gender is a necessity or a precaution. What if you carried some disease that only affected boys and not girls, you would probably hope you had a girl for the babies sake. Countries where women are treated terribly you may want to try for a boy. For me, if my third had been a girl I wouldn’t have had to buy much because of all the hand me downs! I had a boy though and had to buy everything and have no one to pass it on to because I only have nieces! Hudson is the ONLY boy in a gaggle of girls….and he is the youngest! I think some things are best left up to fate/destiny/the universe/God/Luck. There are always exceptions to every rule but in this case I think it is best to just let things take their course. If we start ‘designing’ our babies I think we are headed down a very dark path and ruining a very pure, innocent and wonderful process. Would you choose the sex of your children?
